And nobody can set the motor better to spec than the builder at the factory in Japan. Especially if it’s your 1st time doing it on the CB1100. Which is also usually the case at a Honda dealer because they sell so few CB1100’s.
Change your oil often and don’t over rev it or over-heat it is the best way to maintain your valve clearance from the factory.
While I agree with the possibility of dirt, leak, improper tq spec, etc- the timing is easy enough. A tooth is a tooth, timing marks line up...
That being said, if someone has never timed an engine- and isn’t fully comfortable ahead of time, go start on a single cyl bike.
